February 9 & 10
10:00am to 3:00pm

In this workshop we invite yoga teachers, therapists, and the curious to explore and learn how trauma lives in the body and how yoga can assist in healing. We will discuss the prevalence of trauma, practice trauma informed yoga, and gain an accessible understanding of the science of trauma and learn how yoga is helping.

Did you know that the way we breathe can influence our perspective and how we process stress? Learning to focus on the breath, we can deliberately shift our emotions from anxiety or anger to welcome more gratitude and joy.

Let there be light! During the darkest time of year, let's come together and celebrate the change of season through a warm hatha yoga practice followed by a cooling and grounding restorative yoga sequence.

You’ve seen them in yoga studios. You’ve seen them worn as spiritual jewelry. And you have even seen them held by the Buddha. What are these mysterious bead chains? Where do they come from? Who uses them? And how can they help with meditation?

Ever wondered why yoga classes begin with OM? Or have you ever asked yourself, what's the deal with yogis and all the chanting? Or perhaps you've experienced firsthand the transcendent effects of a mantra practice or kirtan session. In this special 90 minute, all-levels practice, yoga instructors Andrea Russell and Erich Sneller speak to these questions, and offer a combined practice of mantra & vinyasa to explore the overlap of these two techniques.

The new season is a perfect time to make changes and to do a cleanse. Through the practice of the ancient science of Ayurveda, we will look at which healthy habits and foods will give the body energy and help it to reset and to refresh based on the season and individual needs.
